It is odd, because OKC is a large city, but it's not dense. However, the Bricktown area of downtown is a cultural hub, which hosts the NBA team as well as lots of dining and activities.

No, but it erodes the control executives want to exert over their workforce, along with the company's real estate values.

It was bound to happen. The military industrial complex throws around too much money for Microsoft to ignore it. It is sad, though, that they couldn't stand firm about what's right and become a building block for long-term world p

Anecdote: My wife has been in volunteer management for quite a while now, and in her multiple roles has used Volunteer Match. It’s a good platform, both for volunteers and organizers.

Intel is suffering financially. This is the phase in which they, regretfully, cross all ethical boundaries for the sake of the company's bottom line.

Right? They even sell dedicated HSM through Azure with their partner Thales. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/azure-dedicated-h... A very small number of people should have access to their HSMs. This sho

I think the biggest problem is there’s no anonymity. Most people aren’t willing to share their real opinions under their real name.

Great point. I downloaded the official Reddit app just to see if the negativity surrounding it was warranted. As soon as I tried to scroll past my first ad, a tap was registered and the ad website loaded. It was suspiciously erroneous in it

MTU is ridiculously difficult in telco networks. Because most transport is moving packets via Ethernet at the endpoints, you’ve got to make sure your customers can use whatever MTU they want, including 9000+. This means a lot of variation

I’ve experienced the same. In fact, I recently tried migrating to Ubuntu. The user experience is a lot better than it once was, but it’s still not great. For instance, if I want to see what the temperature outside is on gnome, I need to ins

I learned to weld in high school. The first priority is safety education. While this is neat, that is a very massive missing element that students must become familiar with when learning to weld.

With regard to lead, I recently found out that most faucets manufactured before 2014 have lead in them. I found this out while replacing parts for a faucet in a house built before 2013. https://www.mwra.com/04water/html

I've heard from Google employees that the internal AI they use is better than ChatGPT, but the leadership doesn't want to make it generally available.

This is an HR problem. If they’re happy with their job, it’s not possible for them to get a raise with the current company that likely comes anywhere close to what they can get jumping ship. If HR would be willing to say “Hey, we recognize

NETCONF doesn’t abstract anything though. All it did was provide a programmatic method for configuring devices.

Having done LSD, I can’t imagine doing anything resembling coherent productivity while tripping. The best I could do was try to process all the crazy shit happening. There was certainly no room for note taking.

Elon is the brand. They don’t advertise. If he’s really as smart as most people think he is, then all of this pandering to right wing politics is just a way to sway people who wouldn’t otherwise buy an electric car into buying one because t

You are in the minority of drivers. Most people want updated tech in their cars, including (what I consider to be) very valuable backup cameras. I'm shocked to see this sentiment about "dumb" vehicles rising on HN.

Let’s say it together, slowly: Cloud gaming… Is not going to take off… Until latency is unnoticeable by users. Even turn-based and other game types that don’t require twitch reactions aren’t going to be enjoyable with input latency that is

I've been reluctant to try getting my coworkers into VR because they'd probably just laugh at me, but a couple of friends and I met up in VR (we're all fully-grown professionals) and it was great. Meetings in VR would be a lo

Exactly this. The labor market has been heavily weighted for the laborer lately, and this whole "macroeconomic headwinds" chant we're hearing from leaders of every Fortune 500 right now is simply them trying to stave off furt

The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies here. Yeah, it's cheaper than buying Meraki, Aruba, Fortinet, etc, but the IDS/IPS on their Dream Machine is awful, logging is awful, reliability of anything but wireless
